Acne

Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that occurs when the hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. Causing pustules, blackheads cysts and scarring. There is no single cause for oily and acne prone skin. Acne can be an inherent, genetic condition or can be caused by many different contributing factors. Common contributing factors to acne include: Hormonal fluctuations, Stress, Medication, Climatic conditions, Cosmetic ingredients that irritate the skin and clog pores, Drugs, and Hereditary conditions.

Some of the best treatments for acne rapidly change the pH of the skin to very low (acid) or to very high (alkaline). An acid formula will ‘harden’ the dead and dying skin very quickly and the brittle cells then ‘pop off.’ An alkaline solution will soften and dissolve the dead and dying skin as well as hair (this is very good for folliculitis conditions). It is vital to follow these treatments with a comprehensive at home regime to restore the skins natural pH levels
